Playoff Picture: Golden State Warriors
By Luke Duffy

It’s not often a team has a top-five offensive (second, scoring 109.6 points per contest ) and defensive efficiency (first, giving up 97.6 points a game), as well as a true superstar (Stephen Curry) and depth all over their roster. This team has had some playoff battles and grown together as a unit as well. On the surface, it appears only injury is the true concern for this team headed into the postseason.
But let’s go a little deeper to see if we can truly evaluate how far this team can go.
